Improve bot error messaging on invalid commitType config (Example inside)

@nicrie I have a hunch that this will fix it for me:
https://github.com/trussworks/react-uswds/pull/2653/files#diff-cb22095514d0cab1f755ae3a7902f7d64d10199da210fbd1eb2b29eb758b38d2R223

Looking at your config file, it won't be the same resolution for you.

That said, if this does fix it for me I will update this issue to request error handling around the culprit so that the error messaging can be improved.

It seems I've just hit the same issue here.

Thanks for the hint, @brandonlenz. How do you know that the commitType will solve it for you? I still tried your solution myself, but - as you already indicated - to no avail.

Indeed it fixed it: trussworks/react-uswds#2653 (comment).

Updating issue.

I didn't know it would fix it, but I had a guess. I had to look at the underlying libraries used by the bot to see that my commitType configuration was likely invalid. The other hint was the bot stopped working after that was added to our repo's config.
